    In a ruling Monday, Cannon said the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith violated the Constitution.

    “In the end, it seems the Executive’s growing comfort in appointing ‘regulatory’ special counsels in the more recent era has followed an ad hoc pattern with little judicial scrutiny,” Cannon wrote.

    So she wants a judge to say an investigator can be appointed to gather information to take to a judge?

    This is obviously just some Sneeches bullshit. You could just as well argue before it can be brought to a judge, an investigation needs to be done to gather evidence.

    So I guess more like chicken and egg.

      Honestly, I’m surprised she didn’t just say it was legal because he was still the president since the election was a fraud and the president can do things like that.
